Q: What should I do if my car won’t start when it’s cold in winter? What kind of maintenance should I do?
Answer: First of all, riders should take care of the vehicle in time before the cold winter comes. Good winter maintenance and testing, such as heating system, battery electrolyte testing, etc. If the electrolyte level is insufficient, it should be replenished in time and charged if necessary.
Secondly, if the cold start is difficult due to carbon deposits on the idle motor, it is recommended that the owner go to the maintenance service station to clean the carbon deposits inside the combustion chamber and on the top of the piston. As for antifreeze maintenance, the antifreeze should be replaced in time in winter, otherwise the cooling circulation system of the car will be easily affected, which will cause the engine water temperature to be too high, unable to work normally, etc., and will also cause the water pump to freeze. For example, it is best to replace the antifreeze every 2 years, and it is best to choose the same brand of antifreeze when replenishing.
If there is no problem with the car engine and other parts, the owner can try to change the gasoline scale. If the vehicle usually uses No. 90 gasoline, it can be replaced with No. 93 gasoline in winter. The temperature in winter is low and the ignition point of high-grade gasoline is high, and the car will be relatively easy to start.
